Bernann McKinney couldn’t bear the thought of living without her late pit bull, Booger — the heroic hound saved her life when she was attacked by another dog, and became her lifeline during a prolonged, arduous recovery.
And now, as she showed exclusively on TODAY, she believes she doesn’t have to.

<description><![CDATA[For the first time, scientists have implanted a prosthesis that will allow them to directly fuse an artificial leg into a dog’s bone, a procedure that could foster a breakthrough in designing next-generation artificial limbs for humans. 
In the four-hour operation Thursday at the North Carolina State University Veterinary School, Denis Marcellin-Little, an associate professor of veterinary orthopedics, fused a titanium implant onto what was left of the leg bone of Cassidy, a 5-year-old German s...]]></description>

Now she is happy, minus $50,000 and her house, and owner of five cloned Booger puppies.
&quot;It is a miracle for me because I was able to smile again, laugh again and just feel alive again,&quot; McKinney told a news conference in the South Korea capital to show off the week-old black puppies — all of whose names include the word Booger.

Two Saudi men seen Thursday in Riyadh outside a pet show were violating a religious edict against walking pets.
Every single man knows: Walking a dog in the park equals sure babe magnet. Saudi Arabia&#039;s Islamic religious police, in their zeal to keep the sexes apart, want to make sure the technique doesn&#039;t catch on here.
The solution: Ban selling dogs and cats as pets, as well as walking them in public.
The prohibition went into effect on Wednesday in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, and authoriti...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Talk about New Jersey’s fat cats. 
A 44-pound feline was found waddling around Saturday without a collar in Voorhees, and officials at the Camden County Animal Shelter hope she gets a nice — hopefully, diet-friendly — home. 
“She’s built like a quarterback,” said Deborah Wright, a shelter volunteer and current foster owner of the kitty. “I mean, how do you lose a 44-pound cat?!” 
Shelter officials are calling the porky cutie “Princess Chunk.” 
The largest tabby on record weighed 46 po...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[
For years we’ve taken our dogs to our friend Gregg’s house for an Independence Day celebration that stretches late into the night. His hilltop home offers a view of fireworks displays from the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., all the way to Long Beach. But these days we leave before the fireworks begin.

The panda&#039;s mother rejected her two cubs after they were born on June 30.
&quot;She left them there, lying in the cold,&quot; said zoo spokesman Bart Kret.
The zoo initially kept the cubs in an incubator. But a keeper&#039;s tabby cat had just given birth to four kittens, and let the two panda cubs join the crowd.
